Katarn07 Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 I just got my driver's permit today. It only was an hour and a half wait at the DMV... Beats what my sister waited for. 3 hours... *shrugs* I hate that place. But, I got it and didn't miss a question on the test. I am afraid, however, I may need an eye test soon Don't worry, 6 months from now, I'll update this thread and tell you I got my licenese.
Boba Rhett Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Congrats man. I remember when I took mine. I didn't study and got the maximum allowable limit wrong. *whew*
Taos Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Man I remember when....that was 10 years ago for me. Hell, the first time I tried to get it, I flunked and I had to wait 4 hours before they'd let me take the test again. I passed the second time though. Have fun with driver's training.
Jo Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 i got mine day after my 15th birthday...just this last feburary 6. failed it missing 8 the first time. took it 5 mins later and aced it...and aced my vision and roadsign test..just gotta wait till im 16 to test drive for my license..bloomin missiouri laws...lol
Pisces Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Damn, you guys are really different from us. I turned 16 a few weeks ago and I don't have to go for a driver's permit but I can go get my licence whenever I want, well provided I pass the test. And it's only written, no eye test. Sweet, I love this place. Anyway, what's your driver's permit allow you?
Rogue Nine Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Originally posted by Katarn07 Don't worry, 6 months from now, I'll update this thread and tell you I got my licenese. I want a licenese too! Where can I get one? It sounds so cool!!!
Katarn07 Posted March 23, 2003 Author Posted March 23, 2003 Ummmm. Yeah, I can't spell... License. Is that better??? Originally posted by NeoDios Anyway, what's your driver's permit allow you? Drive with someone 21 or older in the front seat. I could have gotten it beginning of second semester, but could care less about driving. Where do I have to go? I have no job, and my friends are in walking distance. But now that I have it, I wanna drive... Better sign up for Behind the Wheel Monday.
Pisces Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 I think it's licence. Might depend on where you live though.

Psyk0Sith Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 congrats Katarn . i remember when i got mine, it was pretty easy, i think i missed 2 questions. But the "coach" at the driving school was an ass.
Pisces Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Here's how it lays out. I'm 16. I can go write a test and if I pass I get my licence. I have to have someone with 4 years driving experience in the car with me, I can't drive after a certain time, and I can't have any alcohol in my blood. After 12 months I can go get an upgraded licence where I drive by myself with only like 2 hours in the morning I can't drive. Or I can take a driver's ed course. I get cheaper insurance, and it only takes 8 months for me to get my upgraded licence. Now, um, what's a driver's permit allow? I still don't know that part.
Katarn07 Posted March 23, 2003 Author Posted March 23, 2003 A permit is explained above, and like the Restricted-License you spoke of... Drive with someone 21 or older in the front seat. That is basically it.

Pisces Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Oh, cool. So driver's permit=G1 licence. Well, you learn a little something everyday.
Darth Talliusc Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 ahhhh driving. i was in the middle of my lessons (i had 3 days before the next scheduled one) when i was nearly killed in a high speed/light pole car crash. then when i was recovered (mostly) i was in a car on car accident. so drive safe, life flashing before your eyes may sound cool but its not. the speed limits are up there for a reason so go with the flow of traffic when you must but if you're alone on the road dont do anything stupid.

I put my life on the line everyday when my sister drives me to school going 40 in her Grand Am. *shudders* I plan on not speeding or tailgating, the two things my older sisters can not break a habit of doing. My oldest sister has gotten into an accident, whci was not her fault. My other sister has gotten 2 speeding tickets. How many more until her license is revoked? 1? Any Chicago-land Swampies might know the answer.
Pisces Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Well, I'll tell you one thing about speeding, sometimes it's hard to know when you are. I was driving home today and I was going 20 km over the speed limit and I didn't even notice. Some cars will mess you up.
Eldritch Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Originally posted by Boba Rhett You don't have to go driving with an officer? Nah, only us old foagies had to do that.
Lunatic Jedi Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 God, I hate the DMV. I'll bet in the future when everthing is instantaneous and getting across town takes only three seconds the DMV will STILL take an hour and a half.
C'jais Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Where I'm from, there's no such thing as a "permit", the license age requirement is 18 and it generally costs you from 700-1000$. On the other hand, we're able to buy alcohol when we're 15. Such a strange world.
Darklighter Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Don't worry about it. I got an eye test a few months back, they told me I was short-sighted, so I need glasses before I can start driving. Oh well, i'll inevitably have to get a pair, won't be too bad:) Congrats;)
Dath Maximus Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 like rhett, i had to wait a very short time 3 seconds. and i had to drive a cop around in my mustang.....man was i nervous..... but i passed! and now i drive all the time
